And if you want to imagine the future, imagine a boot ... no, imagine a sneaker, laces trailing, kicking a pebble; imagine a stick, to poke at interesting things, and to throw for a dog who may or may not decide to retrieve it; imagine a tuneless whistle, pounding some luckless popular song into insensibility; imagine a figure, half angel, half demon, all human...Slouching hopefully towards Tadfield...... forever.

Title: Baptism by FireAuthor:kepp0xyCharacters/Pairings: Gwen/Arthur, Uther; a little bit of Morgana and Merlin near the endRating: PGWarnings: Nope.Word count: ~5220Summary: Uther discovers the secret relationship between Arthur and Gwen.

Author's Notes: I've been a little obsessed with the idea of Gwen and Uther having an intense moral showdown since the end of series 1. This doesn't fit those parameters exactly but the tense battle-of-wills aspect of what I'd wanted is something I really strived for. In the interest of full disclosure, this is possibly a bit of wish fulfilment, but all in all I'm pleased with how it turned out, and this is probably one of the fics I'm most proud of. So many thanks to and_i for the generous betawork ♥ All remaining mistakes are mine.
